Second-hand kitchen & appliances in Knoxville typically sells for $11 to $470. Built-in units fetch less than freestanding ones because they only suit a kitchen of matching dimensions, which cuts the buyers who can use them at all. Energy rating matters more each year, as running cost now outweighs purchase price over a few years.
Buying kitchen & appliances in Knoxville
Knoxville sits on the river at the gateway to the largest national park in the country by visitor numbers, with the state’s flagship university in the city and a major federal research laboratory nearby. It hosted a world’s fair whose tower still stands.
Measurements decide whether an appliance can be used at all, and a machine that will not pass the kitchen doorway is worth nothing to its buyer. Seeing it in place, with the route out measured, removes the one risk that cannot be undone afterwards.
What to check in person
Ask for it to be plugged in and run a short cycle if that is possible. Pull out the drawer and check the seal for splits and black mould, tilt it to look underneath for leaks, and check the drum or shelves move as they should.
Collecting it in Knoxville
It needs a van and realistically two people. Ask about the stairs, the doorway and the parking at the seller’s end before you set off, because that is the detail that decides whether the trip was worth making.
The city is built on hills above the river, so ask about the approach for anything heavy. Home games fill the roads by the stadium for most of the day, so avoid them.

State the age, the model number and whether it is working, and be honest if it is not. Disconnect it and have it out and accessible before the buyer arrives with a van, and say clearly whether you can help lift it. Turns over steadily, with a clear lift through the summer moving season.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
